No problem ;) For your linguistic curiosity, I often find myself using round 
bracket: I find it more precise, less vague. Not 100% sure about french, but in 
italian we of course have the equivalent of parentheses but it's generic, kids 
soon learn about round, square and curly variants. English is probably more 
precise, it usefully provides 3 different words: parentheses, brackets and 
braces, which often, outside a technical context, should be clear enough, 
without further qualifications.

Thanks!
Paolo
